The fleet of Liberators slid out of the near-paranormal world of hyperspace and quietly into the familiar black-and-white spectrum of realspace. The object that lay ahead was their prize.

Roughly a third of the armada spewed its lasers toward the gem hanging in space, the rays of destruction gliding as if an angel toward their target. The officers watched anxiously to determine if the shields were up, since time had not been alotted for sensor scans.

The lines of energy conflicted with the reverse charge of the shields. They were up. The engaging ships followed their command routine and began concentrating their fire on a single point of the shield.

The Indomitable activated its gravity wells, in which any future escaping ships would be ensnared in. The remainder of the fleet charged their weapons, ready to deal with any other oncoming threats. The majority began focusing their fire on the Golan III platform.

Guru, he sat in his chair, so, he thought, the Empire has come once again, I missed the last time they came, but this time, I get revenge for all those they enslaved. Enslaved those who were non-human... but now they would get revenge. All those they killed for having different beliefs, colored skin, or some different form will have their day, and that day is today. He stood, and walked to the battle screen, the usual set up, his side around a planet, and the other staring him down. But, now his fleet was battle hardened. This one was just formed, his crew was trained daily, and theirs were fresh recruit. This would be an easy fight Guru thought. But, he was not over confident, he learned that he must never be, not after Ylesia… no, not after Ylesia. He simply stated to himself he had an advantage.

He found himself to no longer be on his Obliteration any longer, no, now he was on the newly named Imperium Furor, but that was good because he was now on the most powerful ship in all the U.R.R.W. fleet. It was the most famous Sienar-Tetan Battle Cruiser. It was fitting enough, and powerful enough to blow through this, this fleet they sent to attack what is owned by his people. Now, he thought would be the stand, the last stand, the last defense of Corulag. It may be his last stand, but it didn’t stop him from launching into order mode. “Comm. L-03, fire everything you have from missiles, to ion cannons onto the Indomitable, L-04, I want no different from you, hit the Lightning Strike and I want all direct hits, do not fail the U.R.R.W., these are your families on the line now. Though the odds seem to be on our side, that can change quickly, so, be careful.”

“L-05, at the battle of Ylesia, you could barely hit the side of a Star Destroyer, do me proud, and hit the Lightning Strike with everything you got!” He glared toward the window which showed him the battle already beginning; he examined the battle screen, and saw ships which he had never seen before. He then looked up as neon blue flew past his face heading toward the Indomitable, he knew it would hit, or miss before the LC-03 could begin its attack on the ship. This meant the shield was still down as it would take a half hour to power up. He then turned his attention back too the battle screen

“Matthew's Revenge a new ship and a new captain, great…” He sighed to himself then turned to the Comm. Officer. “Captain of the Matthew's Revenge, I know you’re the newest captain we got on a bridge, so try your best, and pound the Cutthroat with everything you got, and DON’T MISS!” He sat back in his chair, and let out a sigh, for this was the one day the Corulag, the home world of the U.R.I. would be either, finally free, or destroyed, extenuation was not an option.

The U.R.R.W. and Imperial forces opened up on each other at the same time. The harsh vacuum was seared with exhanges of turbolasers and ion blasts.
L-03 fired on the Indomitable as the multihued bolt shot from the surface streaked by, and succeed in putting four torpedoes into the shields of the vessel. Simultaneously, L-04 fired on Lightning Strike as the Imperial ship blasted at it. Six turbolasers washed over the Strike's shields. L-03 choked on a pair of hits from the turbolasers and five ion bolts. The first bolt exploded against the shields, but a second and third slid through and disabled main power. Two other bolts exploded against the hull as L-05 missed the Imperial ship, much to the captain's embarrassment.
As Lightning Strike was tied up Griffin, Vaporizer and Thunder sprayed fire at the source of the ion bolt. Griffin missed cleanly, gouging into the planet's surface. Vaporizer and Thunder followed the same pattern.
Matthew's Revenge and Cutthroat engaged in a lethal duel, gun ports blazing with death. Two ion bolts slammed into Cutthroat, disabling the ship's ion cannons and power systems, but not before it unleased its volleys. Three turbolasers crashed over the forked bow. Hate opened up on the Golan III, but missed the battle station cleanly.
Indomitable held its post, keeping the gravity wells running._________________

Guru looked at the fleet before him, they called it a rouge fleet, commanded by a rouge of the Empire, he thought. Well, I will show this “rouge” how we do business in the Union, this Zend would die. He then heard from his comm. officer that they got a transmission from the Imperium Base One.

“Grand Commodore, this is High General Hubootto, I have some news for you… our Imperial allies have gave us information that the Rouge forces commander is not on the battlefield. I think you should precede with a jam of their communication systems, and cut off their transmitting abilities, if you do them will surrender without commands from this… “Rouge” scum.”

Guru looked at the monitor, and then looked through the window on deck, and he decided that he must jam there fleet’s communications. It was the only way to save lives, and it was time to save lives instead of kill them. “Comm. Officer get me into contact with the following ships one at a time to give them each commands, L-02, L-11, and Corulagian Storm” He looked at the tactic screen, and shook his head, they were out numbered, but not out gunned, he thought. “Also, get me in contact with Hubootto.” The Comm. Officer scrambled to get the orders he was given, he got a hologram from the captain of L-02. “Hello, captain, I need you to fire on Blade, hit it hard, and fast.”

The next Officer to be displayed was quite nervous, and sweating… “L-11, fire on… hmm… Blade,” Next was a more uniformed officer, he looked arrogant, but loyal, and smart, “Captain of the Corulagian Storm, attack… Envy, destroy it.” He then got his contact with Hubootto, “I want Turbolaser Group two to fire on Blade.” He looked at the screen, and surveyed as quickly as possible, “Group 12 is to fire on… Oppression, destroy that ship! Next up is Ion Cannon Group 9, I want Spore disabled.” He turned off the comm. Channel with Hubootto, and turned to his Comm. Officer again after surveying the tactics screen. “Jam the rouge scum!”_________________Emperor Brote Heckler/Emperor of the Union of Republic Represented Worlds

The cruiser L-02 began jamming the Imperial communications, garbling half of the message. However, the orders were still intelligible. Four of the Imperial ships opened fire on the Tetan cruiser, while three others poured fire into the Golan platform.
Disintegrator, Kessel, and Executioner all poured ions and turbolasers into the Golan. Executioner knocked out life support with a lone bolt, while five raked the firebase from Kessel. One bolt exploded against the shields, then they fell as the generators were disabled, alongside the station's turbolasers which absorbed three bolts. Three more ion charges struck just ahead of the turbolasers from the three ships. Tractor beams and main power succumbed, and the hull was breached as the last bolt exploded.
Then the turbolasers smashed over the hull of the station. Six bolts in total opened the hull to space.
Meanwhile, Blade was strafed by L-11 and L-02. L-02 scored a total of five hits with its turbolasers and three ion hits. L-02 hit the Imperial cruiser with one ion bolt, but missed with turbolasers.
At the same moment, Oppression dissolved in a cloud of flame from a planetary turbolaser, followed by wounded Blade. Spore was spared the wrath of Corulag's ground forces, as the ion bolt streaked past.
Corulagian Storm struck Envy with two ions, disabling shields and life support. Then five turbolasers raked the ship.
In the midst of the chaos, as the Golan was besieged, two Liberators vaporized, and static screeched over the comlinks; Strangler, Ripper, Imperial Wrath, and Patroller let fly on the Imperium Furor. The ion barrage struck first, felling auxiliary power, sensors, propulsion, and weapons. Twenty-one turbolasers from the three ships cut into the 1,750 meter ship._________________
Director of Imperial Intelligence and Supreme Commander of the Central and Southern Galactic Segment

Cheers rushed through the ships as Oppression, and Blade went into a ball of flame, then into steel dust, and floated away into the dark oblivion, of space. The cheers were so loud that they could be heard over the COM links of the enemy ships. In retaliation of the cheer of the death of their comrades in arms, the enemy hit the Imperium Furor, blots, and ion beams hit it hard, rocking Guru, and his ship, the stations flared as they were taken out one by one. Guru second in command begins to read off the devastation, “Fleet Commodore, we have lost auxiliary power… sensors, by the Force, propulsion, and weapons. We are basically dead in the water Fleet Commodore Guru!”

Guru was amazed as the blots rocked the vassal, he held on his chair as it was racked. “Well, this vassal can hold, I’m not all surprised but, this ship is superior to even a Victory Class.” He said as he stepped over to the stations to haul men, and woman, dead, and dieing from their stations. The sweating, bloody, and bruised Comm. Officer was getting messages that ships were damaged, and about on the edge of falling apart. Luckily, none of the U.R.R.W.N. ships were destroyed only breached, but Imperium Furor’s shields held, victory was in sight. Hope for these Rouge forces, was gone, and they would soon be brought to justice.

The Golan III was hit harder though, flames flew from the sides of the station, the hull was breached, small breaches, but still breaches that were enough to suck men out of. Bodies of people unfortunate enough to have had their backs to the wall, floated, compacted by the small size of the holes, teams soon sealed them, and took out the fires. Guru, sat back in his chair, ready to show these vile rouges some pay back, “Comm. Officer Shallie Terpacin this battle isn’t over yet, get on the Comm. And get me L-08 and L-10’s captains one at a time as usual by Hologram.” Soon a man came on screen; he was a Free Chiss… surprising enough, ah… a Chiss, thought Guru. “First time I have seen a Chiss in this systems, since, well, Thrawn himself.”

The Chiss looked up, he made sure his uniform was in good form, he knew who he was speaking to, and was no fool. “Yes, I’m not an Imperial though, I didn’t sell out as easily as that Imperial trash, he may have defended Csila, but, the Chiss are now slaves. Do you seeing him helping us now?” Guru watched him with an intense look, seeing as simple an order turn into talk about freedom, but he was as idealistic as everyone else in this Navy, in this Union. “I understand of what you speak, Captain, your orders are to fire all weapons, including missiles on, the Envy, destroy them, destroy them all, and think Csila.”

The hologram shut off, and the next captain came on, L-10’s Commander, “Hello, Commander, your mission is to destroy the Spore, I want it damaged enough to board, and you heard me right as well Commander, enough to board. Also, activate another round of jamming on there systems” He fell back in his chair, he sighed, so much death, and for what…? For the people of Corulag, we help to defend those who are free, and bring justice to those who wrong the Union. Clenched his fingers together to make a fist, he brought it down onto the arm of his chair, hard. “Shallie, open a channel with Hubootto, I want him now!” A channel was quickly established, and up came the human, “Hubootto, I need your ion cannon to support an attack on the Spore, understood?” Hubootto, didn’t like taken orders from a Commodore, but did so, and responded, “Yes… sir…” Victory was in sight, final, beautiful, victory!_________________Emperor Brote Heckler/Emperor of the Union of Republic Represented Worlds

L-08 and L-10 fired on their respective targets, the Envy and Spore as a multihued pulse of ion fire shot up from the surface and streaked by Spore.
Envy shuddered as seven turbolaser bolts and a torpedo cut into the hull, doing some damage. But none of the ion bolts struck the ship.
L-10 blasted away at Spore, each ion and turbolaser bolt missing the starship. However, a lone torpedo hit home, detonating against the shields with a brilliant flare.

A moment later, the shields reencapsulated the Envy as main power and tractor beams reaquired functionality on the U.R.R.W.'s Golan platform._________________

Daara Zend stood on the bridge of the Arquebusier as it hypered in from its resting place on the edge of the system. The battle was already in full force, everything was going as planned. Excellent...

"Captain, bring our squadron into the atmosphere and take out those batteries." She commanded.

The captain obeyed as the pre-engaged craft contiued firing at the Golan III platform. Daara's group proceeded into the atmosphere and blasted at the otherwise defenseless turbolaser batteries._________________Grand Admiral Daara Zend

The URRW and Imperial ships spat turbolaser and ion fire at each other once more. An ion bolt reached for the Arquebusier, but missed the Imperial warship.
Wraith, Duck, Wyvern, Archon, and Arrowhawk all raced for the atmosphere. L-12 blasted away at Wraith, scoring six turbolaser hits and a torpedo impact as its ion salvo passed behind the speeding vessel.
Spore, Envy and Orken poured fire into the Golan III Platform. Orken's ions further scrambled system on the station, with four bolts knocking out life support twice over, computers, and the last exploding against the hull. Nine turbolasers between all three ships then pounded the hull of the base, tearing into it further.
Then Orken came under fire from Curllov's Last, all eight guns striking their marks. At the same moment, Fackler's Beauty unloaded into Envy. The fruit of the labor was a lone turbolaser splashing against the cruiser's shields.
Spore came under fire from Corulag Hope, taking five turbolasers and both torpedoes.
Archon and Arrowhawk cruised through the Corulagian atmosphere, while Wyvern, Duck, and Wraith patrolled the skies. Archon engaged Turbolaser Group Five, and annihilated it. A moment later, it was incinerated by Turbolaser Group Three.
Arrowhawk had split off, and engaged Group 9. Thirty bolts struck home, blowing each gun in the group to pieces.
And Zend was not spared the assault. As her ships fired into the Golan and pierced enemy skies, a YT-2400 freighter came at the cruiser, guns ablaze. It scored a hit with its cannons, then peeled off to avoid collision._________________
Director of Imperial Intelligence and Supreme Commander of the Central and Southern Galactic Segment

Daara let a cruel smirk come upon her lips. She watched the turbolaser batteries collapse in on themselves. Everything was going to plan. "Commander, continue attack run." She barked as all of the ships maintained their previous objectives and targets._________________Grand Admiral Daara Zend

Due to some comments about how confusing the battles are, the ships will now be color coded by map colors.

L-06 engaged the Intrepid, knocking out the shields, but missing the naked hull of the starship while twin roiling bolts of multicolored ion energies rocketed up from the surface of Corulag as Ion Cannons 2 and 5 blasted away at their targets. Chesser was spared the wrath of Cannon Five's furies as the bolt streaked past, but Thundering Bison choked on its own bolt. The ship's weapons faltered, as did communications, sublights, and auxiliary power.
Turbolaser Group 10 let fly on the Liberator Cruiser Pursuit. The Imperial vessel shattered into a million fragments under the withering fire.
A moment after the vicious assault by the ground-based ion cannon, Thundering Bison was nearly skewered on the turbolaser volley of Ferocity. The brilliant crimson blasts streaked between the forked bows, lighting up the hangar bays with a hellish glow.
In the midst of the vicious space battle, another Imperial cruiser flew into the atmosphere. Scorpion bore down on Turbolaser Group 7, and let fly with ions and turbolasers. Seven guns disintegrated under the first turbolaser volley, while the ions blew apart another two and crippled one more. The damaged one was finished in the subsequent ion barrage, alongside a second gun. The lethal effectiveness of the ship's turbolasers was proved again as they vaporized three more cannons. After the next bombardment, only two were left standing, with one operational. The Imperial ship finished the job, leaving the battery in smoldering ruins before flying off towards Curamalle.
Several hundred kilometers overhead, a second YT-2400 began to harrass the Imperial ships. It attacked Swift Death successfully on two occasions, as well as Intrepid and Chesser. It even scored a hit on the flagship of Grand Admiral Zend before veering away to dodge a reprisal.
The rest of the Empire's fleet concentrated their attack on the Golan III platform. Lethality failed to live up to its name, scoring three hits in two salvos. Fondor was by its side, and fared slightly better with eight total strikes from its two volleys. Next, Carlton fired a single volley, landing two bolts on the portside "tower" of the station. Enemy Blood engaged simultaneously, and landed three bolts in two volleys. The Empire's hope was on Ultima Thule, which was far enough out when it acquired a lock to fire multiple volleys. Twenty-seven bolts pounded the station before the Imperial vessel broke off.

Okay... two things. From now on, Brote, you use RPG format. After all, this is and RPG. If it's not RPed, it's skipped. Daara, I want orders in the post. I'm tired of digging through hundreds of private messages. _________________
Director of Imperial Intelligence and Supreme Commander of the Central and Southern Galactic Segment

The Sienar and Scarlet Dawn fleets blasted out of hyperspace to see the battle raging.

Alexus grabbed the com. "Fleet Commodore, I request command of your fighter forces as of now."

"Granted. Look after them well."

(Sorted out with Brote)

Aran Toh raised the fighter commander on the Liberators.

"You may launch now. I want all of my pilots to come home. Is that clear?"

"Yes ma'am!"

The cloakshapes, one hundred strong formed up with the URRW fighters.

Aran took the command chair.

"All Liberators; hang back with the URRW ships and begin ion barrage on the Imperial flagship. Every fighter must make runs on that ship until it is destroyed. Gunship and corvettes, keep the enemy off our back. Dawn's hand, you may use your concussion missiles to bombard the enemy flagship at maximum range. Execute."

Alexus opened a channel to Zend.

"Daara Zend, you are a rogue and I demand you withdraw from Corulag immediately."

Daara turned to face the tactical station, smirking. "Irrelevant." She said. Moving over to another console, she activated the slave circuitry on the Yarar and the Chaser. After she sent the Imperial verification code, the ships immediately diverted their drives, independant of crew control, and set course for the Golan III platform and the Tetan cruiser, respectively. They would ram them, and all warheads contained in the ships would ignite on contact. The shields on the ships would be deactivated at that time, a few miliseconds before impact, thus the explosion would affect the enemy.

"Open a channel, lieutenant," Daara ordered as she turned away from the console. "This is Admiral Zend to all Imperial ships. The Chaser and the Yarar have been compromised. They are under control of the enemy, but their weapons are disabled. All in space, concentrate on the new arrivals. All those within the atmosphere, continue your attack."_________________Grand Admiral Daara Zend

The Imperial cruisers Chaser and Yarar powered their thrusters by remote control, and screamed towards their targets. Yarar plowed headlong into the Golan platform. The cruiser vaporized, annihilating a full third of the Golan. Explosions ripped through the crippled station, sending tongues of flame a hundred meters long into space. Chain reactions tore apart large sections of the platform, leaving the base burning in space. Amazingly, some of the crew survived the inferno that consumed the mangled base.
At the same time that Yarar rammed the Golan, the Chaser slammed headlong into the Imperium Furor. The sheer force of the impact overloaded the shields of the ship, fusing the four JC-671 generators.
Thundering Bison reacquired the use of its turbolasers as Vagner fired on the L-1. Three ion bolts struck the ship, the first and last impacts disabling the computers and ion systems aboard. The middle impact detonated against the hull, doing minor damage. A moment later, six bolts of emerald turbolaser fire slammed into the disabled ship.
Elite cruised into the Corulagian atmosphere, guns blazing at Ion Cannon Seven. A quintet of bolts disintegrated the cannon. Controller flew with the ship during the atmospheric entry, but split off and attacked Ion Cannon Two. Three bolts ripped into the massive weapon, disabling the ion cannon. Overhead, Dire Wolf stayed on patrol.
Pit Fiend charged at Turbolaser Group Thirteen. Six guns exploded on the first pass, eight each on the next two passes. The last pass destroyed the remaining three guns, and the Imperial cruiser flew off for Turbolaser Group One, leaving the burning wreckage as the only testament to Group Thirteen's existence.
In space above, the Thanagar and Avatar of Death engaged the Scarlet Dawn ships L-2 and Hope of Lianna, both survivors of the Imperial takeover of Lianna. Thanagar speared Hope with four ion blasts, with a bolt exploding against the shields, and the remaining three disabling the ions and engines of the ship. A pair of turbolaser blasts also scored hits on the Liberator, further adding insult to injury.
Avatar of Death lanced the L-2 with three ions, disabling engines and power before a single turbolaser bolt bored into the hull.
Ion Cannon Ten and Turbolaser Group Six both attacked the Arquebusier. The brilliant flashes of energy streaked within meters of the ship, but never made contact. L-01 attacked next, pounding Zend's vessel with five ion hits. Two exploded against the shields, then the Imperial cruiser's ion cannons, auxiliary power, and life support succumbed. Five turbolaser bolts crashed into the shields of the Liberator.
As if to add insult to injury, one more L-01YT-2400[/color] freighter strafed the admiral's ship, scoring a hit._________________
Director of Imperial Intelligence and Supreme Commander of the Central and Southern Galactic Segment

"This is Alexus Sienar. CR110 Firewind, break off and head for the outer system until you can jump." Alexus keyed over to a full fleet com.

"I am now in command of the fleet. All Scarlet Dawn ships, hang back and fire ion cannons at the Arquebusier. All Scarlet Dawn corvettes are to evacuate their ships after locking in a course to ram the Arquebusier, and every cruiser capable of firing is to begin a massive turbolaser barrage on the ship. All fighters are to attack the interdictor. Turbolaser and ion groups, attack all ships that attack us. All those within the atmosphere, continue your attack."

A channel was opened to Zend.

"Admiral, I urge you to surrender. Your life will be spared and you will be taken to Imperial space. Your ship is all but disabled and my entire fleet is ready to fire. I don't want further loss of life but I swear I will ram your entire fleet if I have to."_________________THE LONG SIG HAS PERISHED

Sorry. Forgot about this. :S
Another searing barrage tore through space as Imperial Cruisers Hunter and Warthog streaked towards the beseiged planet. As Hunter stayed on patrol in the atmosphere, Warthog raced for Turbolaser Group One. Four of the Kuat-built turbolasers shattered under the full forward strike from the cruiser. The second pass saw four more disintegrate. An entire quintent of the guns blew apart on each the next two passes. They looped back around, and the weapons officer fired again, destroying four more cannons. Two more guns were lost on the final run, and one disabled. Of the twenty-five guns originally posted, only one, disabled weapon remained standing.
In space, Arestra and Incinerator opened up on the failing Golan and the shieldless Imperium Furor. Incinerator spewed turbolaser bolts into the burning station, each on its mark. The station was not far from a total collapse.
Arestra's commander blasted the Tetan-class with over a half-dozen turbolaser salvos. When it was all over, thirty-seven bolts of energy had struck the battlecruiser.
In the midst of the Imperial assault, the Scarlet Dawn and Union vessels focused their attack on a single point, the Arquebusier. Avenger Prime, L-07, and L-13 fired their turbolasers all at once. L-07 scored a single hit, while Avenger Prime missed cleanly. But the L-13 pressed on, squeezing off six volleys. The first scored half of its guns on target, the next three-quarters. The next two averaged two hits each, but the last salvo streaked by the Imperial ship.
Under the cover of the three Liberators' barrage, the Death from the Stars Squadron homed in on the Indomitable. The Corsairs struck first, eight scoring hits, averaging to fifteen per fighter. However, the two TIE Advanced fighters were following them too closely, and were forced to pull off. Still, the pilots made a last ditch effort to attack the Interdictor, but to no avail. Then the flight of TIE Bombers attacked next. Their cannons were off the mark, but each managed to put three torpedoes on target. They were followed a moment later by Squad 2, of Scarlet Dawn. Four fighters scored blows on the Imperial vessel with their blasters, each making around twenty hits. The entire group, however, was successful with their missiles. The Imperial ship rocked, but the shields still held.
As the battle raged, the crew of the Dawn's Hand began to evacuate._________________
Director of Imperial Intelligence and Supreme Commander of the Central and Southern Galactic Segment

"Ion Cannon 3 will fire on Independent. L-2, Squad 5 and Hope of Lianna will concentrate on Independent after the cannon fires. Corulagian Storm will attack Basilisk with ion cannon. Now, open a channel to Zend once again."

"Grand Admiral Zend, I urge you to discontinue your attack and retreat. Even if you win, and I doubt that considering your losses, rather soon after your victory an Imperator-two class Star Destroyer will arrive in system. It has eighty or so forward-facing turbolasers, Admiral, and more shields than you'd care to count. Retreat, I urge you once more."_________________THE LONG SIG HAS PERISHED

The battle raged on over Corulag. The burst from Ion Cannon Three streaked by the Independent, which raced for the atmosphere as the Cutthroat regained power and Thundering Bison repaired its ion cannons and sublight drives. Cloakshape Squad Five bore down on the ship as it raced for the planet, spraying weapons' fire. Only the leader and his wingman found their mark with cannons, and just the leader was accurate with his missiles.
Meanwhile, L-2 sat helplessly, trying to restore power while Hope of Lianna fired her turbolasers at the cruiser in vain. The Imperial ship tore through the atmosphere, opening up a lethal barrage on Turbolaser Group Four. The first assault incinerated a half-dozen emplacements. The ship came in closer, weapons recharged, and destroyed another ten, and damaging another. Another burst destroyed five. The last barrage finished the battery completely, leaving burning rubble as the only indication that anything had existed there before. The Independent's mission was a success.
Also streaking for the surface was the Basilisk. Corulagian Storm attempted to engage with ion cannons, and landed three on target. The ship's engines immediately failed as did the ion systems. Carried by its own inertia, it tumbled towards Corulag, out of control.
The crew of the L-2 cheered as the Imperial ship careened into the atmosphere, then cheered again as the lights and power systems flickered back on, as did the one remaining emplacement in Turbolaser Group One._________________
Director of Imperial Intelligence and Supreme Commander of the Central and Southern Galactic Segment

Daara calmly looked outward through the viewports towards the battle raging outside her ship. She saw the trail of fire as the Basilisk plummet towards the ground.

Her philosophy was never to waste any chance to obliterate uncunning fools such as the D.R.W.P.

"Ensign, tell the Dragon to lock a tractor beam onto the Basilisk. Redirect its vector enough so that it will slam into Ion Cannon 3...and anything else in its way. Tell the rest of their ships to continue orders."

"But Grand Admiral; what of the people on board?"

Daara stared steely-eyed back at the Basilisk. "Tell them," She started. "That their sacrifice is much appreciated."_________________Grand Admiral Daara Zend

Lances of emerald death spewed to and from the surface of Corulag. Arc Mallet was spared the wrath of the remains of Turbolaser Group One, as was Imperial Revenge. At the same moment, both Ion Cannons 11 and 12 on the surface fired, hurtling seething multihued bolts at their targets. Once again, the gunners missed. Zend laughed cruelly, now able to breathe easily as life support was restored with just minutes of oxygen to spare both on her ship and the Envy. On the Cutthroat, the weapons officer reported that the ship's ion systems were back online. Aboard the L-1, the computer systems came back online, allowing the crew to finally get an accurate damage assessment and return the ship to functionality. L-2 regained its engines, while Hope of Lianna regained her ion cannons.
Dragon executed its grim orders, racing for the stricken Basilisk. A well-aimed tractor beam snatched the falling cruiser from the gravitational influence of Corulag. The cruiser's captain thanked the Dragon. He received no reply as his apparent rescuers slowly fed out the beam, lowering the ship more and more. His messages of gratitude quickly changed into those of panic and confusion as the form of Ion Cannon 3 loomed closer.
"What are you doing?!" he desperately pleaded. "You'll kill us all!"
The Dragon sent their first and last reply. "Admiral Zend appreciates your brave sacrifice."
The last message from the doomed cruiser was the captain cursing Zend's name. An instant later, an explosion, screams, then static were all that could be heard. A quick scan showed where the cannon had once been was now burning crater.
Fire of Lianna achieved a lock-on and blasted away at the The Dragon just moments after the Imperial ship finished its grisly task. Crimson ion bolts raked the vessel, the first salvo knocking out their turbolasers and communications first, one bolt exploding against the shields, and the last one slipping through to disable main power. The next barrage was even more devastating, with the craft's sublight engines taking two hits, one exploding against the hull, and a computer failure. A single bolt made contact on the third volley, causing further damage to main power. The last burst missed the ailing Dragon.
At the same moment, Brute began its assault on the planet. It entered the uppermost parts of the atmosphere and took a position over Turbolaser Group 2. From there, it rained down ion and turbolaser fire. Two turbolasers were disintegrated, and one was disabled with the first barrage. The next finished off the wounded weapon, and saw the destruction of five more. A half dozen fell in the next assault, followed by a single gun in the following attack. The count was brought up to twenty destroyed, and one disabled in the subsequent volley. The last bombardment eliminated the crippled weapon, and scoured the remaining four active guns from the planet.
Its weapons exhausted from the rapid firing, Brute couldn't defend itself when the Fire of Lianna unloaded a full forward ion volley into it. The shields fell first, followed by weapons systems. One bolt exploded against the hull, while the others crippled ion cannons and the main computer.
The Imperial cruiser Walton took up a position over Ion Cannon 1 and hurled jade death at the emplacement below. The ion cannon was obliterated.
Morin Grateful fired at Walton with a vengeance. The first salvo scored only a single hit, knocking out their turbolasers. The next was far more accurate but only as effective, landing four strikes and disabling only the ships ion cannons, with three shots exploding on the shields. Then the ship fired for the third time, all of its cannons found their mark. In rapid succession, power, computers, sensors, and communications fell to the lethal barrage, and one final bolt pierced the hull. And almost as if in spite, the Morin Grateful fired once more at the striken Imperials, landing a trio of hits and knocking out hyperdrive, main power, and shields.
As the Brute, Walton and Dragon were disabled, Fear's Heart, a YT-2400 freighter, and the Carrack cruiser Obliteration engaged the Regulator. The Corellian Gunship blasted the shields of the Imperial Liberator with a turbolaser bolt, the other bolt and both missiles going wide. The YT-2400 freighter made its run next, guns blazing but none on target. Finally, the Obliteration attacked. Its forward turbolasers were squarely on target, and its cannons scored 80% accuracy. The Regulator weathered the attack well, and proceeded with its own assault. Seven bolts ripped into the burning Golan III Platform, pushing it even closer to an all-but-inevitable final collapse.
Squad 4 assaulted the Doom as it opened up on the Imperium Furor. Only the leader's wingman was able to score a hit though, but did so quite well, with 11 hits from his cannon, and both missiles hitting the target.
Shrugging off the fighter assault as one would a group of gnats, thw Doom attacked the Corulagian flagship. Four ion blasts and six turbolaser struck the ship. Main power and life support failed, leaving the ship completely dark, now with no power systems operational. The other two bolts as well as the turbolaser barrage cut into the hull, opening up small breaches.
The remaining Imperial cruisers, Arc Mallet, Imperial Revenge, Suppressor, Jackal, and Norden homed in on their preassigned targets. Arc Mallet locked onto the the burning Golan III Platform and fired. Five bolts sliced through the station. Another salvo of the same strength and the massive gun platform would be finished.
Imperial Revenge, Suppressor, and Norden bore down on the Sienar-built Tetan-class Battlecruiser, the Imperium Furor. Norden fired first. Their first barrage was pitiful, landing only a single turbolaser. The next was more effective, as five bolts cut into the hull. Their third and final barrage coincided with the other two vessels opening up. Between them, a dozen bolts pocked the hull of the enemy flagship.
This left the lone Jackal, which positioned itself over Turbolaser Group 12. Three salvos of ion and turbolaser fire rained down from burning heavens, and in the end, fifteen turbolasers were destroyed, and one disabled.

Wow... one complete battle cycle... and it only took three months. At this rate, Alexus, Brote, and Daara will be fighting till Christmas. And just a small note... because this battle has taken so long, Corulag is effectively isolated from the rest of the RPG until the battle's conclusion. Technically, it's still 4-20 there while the rest of the Galaxy is in the middle of the fifth month. Just thought I'd throw that out there... maybe get some motivation going._________________
Director of Imperial Intelligence and Supreme Commander of the Central and Southern Galactic Segment

Daara allowed herself a smile as she watched the Basilisk incinerate a portion of the planet. Turning to the pilot of the Arquebusier, she said, "Take us to the Golan platform...finish it off."

"Yes, ma'am," He responded.

Daara paced down the bridge again until she could stare straight out the viewports as the Arquebusier left the atmosphere and began to fire at the heavily damaged weapons platform. The rest of her ships would continue their preassigned tasks, battering down the DRWP forces like water on sand._________________Grand Admiral Daara Zend

The Arquebusier opened fire on the dying Golan, and sealed its fate with all forward turbolasers striking the target. The platform was consumed in flame, and then was dust. But Daara Zend was not finished. Her ship moved to face the Imperium Furor, and poured five salvos into it. The effect was as devasting as nearly three forward volleys with complete accuracy.
Living up to its name, Matthew's Revenge struck back, firing two ion volleys at the Arquebusier. The first was off-target, but the second barrage scored a hit, knocking out Zend's hyperdrive.
Vaporizer opened up on the Imperium Furor as well. Three more emerald bolts speared the ship. L-03 responded in kind, landing a trio of ion blasts. The ship was left shieldless, isolated, and with a small hole in the hull.
Lightning Strike joined Zend and Vaporizer, but only landed a pair of bolts on target. She too was assaulted along with her sister ships; L-04 spraying ion bolts at her. Most missed, but a single shot connected. The result was the disabling of their computer systems.
Thunder, previously slated to fire on the Golan, but with all ships that had that as a target when Zend destroyed it, it was ordered to fire on the Tetan Battlecruiser. And it did so with lethal efficiency, firing six volleys of green death into the ship. Twenty-two bolts sliced into the hull, sending crewmembers kicking and screaming into the void, their lungs and brains screaming for oxygen as their blood boiled, their faithful service to Brote Heckler's Union rewarded with an agonizing death.
But in space, no one can hear your dying curse.
L-05 spat crimson bolts of ion energy into the Thunder, nine bolts striking over the course of three volleys. The two that struck in the first barrage exploded against the shields. The next saw five impacts, the first two disabling life support and communications, then two more exploding on the shields. The last one knocked out the ship's weapons systems. The final salvo also scored only two hits, but they were the deadliest. The first knocked out auxiliary power, the next completely disabling the ship's power systems.
Two Scarlet Dawn Fighter Squadrons made a run on the Hate. In the first squadron, Seven, all fighters but one landed hits. Forty-four blaster bolts raked the ship, as did twenty-two missiles. The Liberator just shrugged off the first attack. The next did more damage, each fighter scoring thirteen hits with their cannon. Still, the ship shrugged it off and kept coming, unleashing a turbolaser volley into the Imperium Furor. Seven bolts slashed the naked hull, damaging the vessel further.
The last ship of Scarlet Dawn, the Omnipotent Slayer, began its run on the Griffin. It fired six barrages of laser fire and concussion missiles at the Imperial vessel. Only the first three blaster salvos hit, scoring four hits. Half of the missile salvos missed as well, with just ten hitting of the ones that struck at all.
In retaliation, the Imperial ship fired five salvos of turbolaser fire into the URRW flagship. Several dozen more bolts ripped into the besieged vessel.
The Indomitable struck back at the Death from the Stars Squadron. In two salvos, the Interdictor disintegrated one of the Corsairs and three TIE Bombers.
Meanwhile, Cutthroat joined in on the effort to annihilate the Tetan. Ten more turbolasers ripped through the ship over the course of two volleys.
Burninator entered a position over the remains of Turbolaser Group 12, and fired twice into it. The last ten emplacements were consumed by flame. Passion joined its comrade in assaulting the planet's defenses. It positioned itself over Ion Cannon 9. With one salvo, it incinerated the gun. It then flew to Ion Cannon 6, with the same result. Then, it fired once more on the surface, but with no specific target. A small patch of crust where the barrage impacted melted into magma._________________

Daara maintained her composure as the damage report filed in. She read it and deemed it irrelevant at best. It would not be a roadblock to the destruction of the Corulagian fleet.

"I want all ships in space to attack their Liberators," She ordered calmly. "The rest, continue their assault on the planet."

She looked forward to seeing the decimation of the enemy fleet. Corulag had once been a rightful Imperial world, and it was to be one again, at the feet of turbolaser fire._________________Grand Admiral Daara Zend

The forces of the Corulagian ruler Brote Heckler and the rogue fleet of Daara Zend continued to frustrate the attempts of the other for a quick victory. Even the arrival of Scarlet Dawn units under Alexus Sienar himself did not deter the renegade admiral. Three of Heckler's Liberators, the L-02, L-11, and Corulagian Storm bore down on Imperial targets, their ion cannons spitting crimson fury even as Strangler and Ghost bombarded L-08 and L-10. Six ion blasts in two volleys raked the L-08. The first volley resulted in just one bolt exploding against the shields as the Imperial turbolaser barrage streaked by the ship. Next salvo was devastating, with the first four shots knocking out main power, hyperdrives, computers, and shields in rapid succession. The last ion bolt further scrambled the computers as a trio of turbolaser bolts punctured the vessel.
A split second later, L-02's guns found their mark. In three volleys, five ions struck. Electricity arced across the hull of the Imperial cruiser; life support, weaponry, and main power succumbing to the assault.
A dozen ion charges blasted the L-10, courtesy of Ghost's gunners and the four salvos they fired. The first assault took down the L-10's turbolasers. A single turbolaser bolt crashed against the shields. A moment later, the shields no longer stood as ion fire struck the generator, another gouging the hull and the last in the volley disabling auxiliary power. A pair of turbolasers cut into the now bare hull, followed closely by a full salvo of ions. Auxiliary power took another blow, followed rapidly by the felling of the beleaguered cruiser's weapons, sublight drives, and sensors. Three more emerald streaks of destruction sliced into the SoroSuub-manufactured hull. Another ion cannon bolt in the last barrage failed to disable any systems, exploding against the port tip of the forked nose section. Sleek lines now misshapen, the Liberator's hull would endure more tortures from the gunners of the Ghost. The second hit further crisped the sublight engine circuitry, and the last impact cut off their communications. A final barrage of six turbolaser impacts dug into the wounded vessel.
They watched as L-11 bombarded their attacker, taking pleasure in the sight of lights flickering and arcs of unimaginable energies surging through hull plating. In all, nine ion bolts ravaged the Ghost. The ship was left adrift after the assault.
Kessel turned to face the Corulagian Storm, and the two ships gave fire to one another. Neither scored blows with ions, but Kessel had been ordered not just to use ions. Four bolts cut into the shields of the Corulagian Storm as Vaporizer regained its communications
Ripper and Executioner poured a deadly barrage into the Corulag Hope. Eleven ion bolts surged through the ship and communications and weapons fell as three other bursts exploded on the shields. The defense barrier succumbed next, and another bolt exploded, tearing into the hull. Weapons' circuits were scrambled further, and sublight engines, life support, and a second hit on communications finished out the volley. But in the midst of the hail of ions, jade-colored turbolaser bolts also smashed the ship. A small number stuck the shields before the Imperial ion cannons disabled them, the rest tearing into the cruiser without mercy.
The Imperial vessels Patroller and Imperial Wrath engaged the damaged Imperium Furor. Patroller fired, and landed only a single turbolaser bolt on the ship. The other cruiser fired five salvos, having achieved an early lock-on. When all was said and done, twenty more bolts smashed the Tetan. In an odd twist, as more air vented into space, the life support systems aboard regained function and
L-1 reacquired its ion systems.
The last three Imperial Liberators, Fistagon, Balor, and Disintegrator bore down on the planet of Corulag and Turbolaser Group Three. The first volleys were fired from Fistagon and Disintegrator, destroying a fifth of the battery. Balor fired thrice into the emplacements. At the end, 16 guns were destroyed. And the battle raged on..._________________

"I want all ships in space to focus on L-08 and L-10. Fire everything at those ships, I want them destroyed." Daara growled, looking back down into the ravaged planet. "I want Base Delta Zero operations to begin within short order. Get rid of these gnats buzzing around."_________________Grand Admiral Daara Zend

Chains, Mephit, and Banshee all bore down on the damaged L-10 as Barghest assaulted Corulag itself. Emerald and ruby fire rained from the sky as green streaks speared the crippled Liberator. Fourteen lances of destruction raked the hull of the fork-nosed ship, tearing open decks and venting their hapless contents into space.
On the ground, the remains of Turbolaser Group Three were annihilated in the first salvo from Barghest. The ship moved on, stopping over Ion Cannon Four. The confrontation was brief, and the Imperial cruiser moved on to Ion Cannon Five, leaving the previous target a smoking crater. Emerald death fell from the heavens once more, and the ion cannon was pulverized._________________
Director of Imperial Intelligence and Supreme Commander of the Central and Southern Galactic Segment

"All atmospheric ships, attack the shield generators, and all the other defenses. I want that scum wiped off the face of this planet." She said as she paced back and forth on the bridge. "All other ships, get those Liberators down."_________________Grand Admiral Daara Zend

The duel to the death over Corulag raged on. All of the allied Scarlet Dawn and URRW vessels blazed away at the Arquebusier. The ion barrage mostly missed, but a lone bolt exploded against the shields while life-support was knocked down as well. The ship was spattered with turbolaser fire from the Liberator cruisers in both fleets and Firewind, followed by the blaster cannons of the Cloakshape Squadrons and YT-2400. Six-two laser blasts struck the Imperial vessel from the fighters. Their concussion missles also shook the starship. A split second later, the Firewind dissolved into a ball of incandescence.
The slightly lower velocity bursts from the freighter hit next, the contact point illuminating the shields for an instant with a pearly glow.
As Zend seethed in her respirator mask, the forces of the Empire struck back. Envy hit first, pouring a deadly fusillade into L-06. A single ion bolt lanced the cruiser, taking out their sensors. Turbolaser fire was directed into the wounded Imperium Furor. The ship was badly damaged, support frames showing--or disintegrated--through hull breaches.
Orken struck next, smashing the L-06 with five ion bolts. Ion systems aboard took three individual hits from the ship as turbolasers and shields were struck down as well. Fortunately for the now helpless crew, the Imperial turbolasers weren't as precise.
However, it's next several volleys were on target as it fired into the Imperium Furor. All communications to and from the ship were permanently silenced as the comm arrays were blasted to atoms, as were the power couplings for the ion cannons.
An instant later, Spore fired at the Corulag Freedom. Four ion bolts cut into the cruiser, and the crew found themselves in the dark as main power died.
Wraith, Duck, Wyvern, and Arrowhawk were already in orbit, and continued raining down fire and destruction. Arrowhawk located one of the Corulagian shield generators, and pulverized it with a turbolaser volley. Wraith engaged Turbolaser Group 10, and with four salvos of ion and turbolaser fire, wiped the battery from existence. Duck bore down on Turbolaser Group 11. It executed its job just as well as the Wraith, firing four salvos and obliterating the defenses. Wyvern strafed Ion Cannon 8 from orbit, then moved into its Base-Delta-Zero position.
Things were not looking good for Corulag._________________

Imperium Furor was in sorry shape, but was still able to fire a turbolaser barrage into the Arquebusier. Seventeen bolts of emerald destruction pummeled the Imperial ship, but she held strong.
Lethality responded by strafing the stricken URRW flagship with a full of turbolaser fire.
Ferocity and L-06 attacked next, both vessels failing in their attacks on the Arquebusier. Even the YT-2400 was unable to score a hit.
Fondor blazed away at the Imperium Furor, and seven more Imperial turbolasers gutted the ship. Ultima Thule followed up the assault, a full volley slicing into the mortally wounded ship. Explosions began to cut through her frame, crewmembers realizing their death was upon them panicked, and chaos reigned supreme aboard the ship.
Carlton delivered the death blow. In two volleys, seven bolts tore into the ship. The main reactors breached, and the Imperium Furor was consumed in a maelstrom of fire. When it subsided, nothing remained of the pride of the URRW except dust.
Carlton and Enemy Blood then focused on the enemy Liberators as the Scarlet Dawn forces pulled back from the interdiction field and hypered away. Ask Alexus, Brote, before you comment.Carlton struck first, bombarding the Curamalle's Anger with ions and turbolasers. Two turbolasers crashed into the shields as a trio of ions disabled weapons, propulsion, and sensors. The next URRW vessel slated for attack was the Bamboo Mangle. Two ions exploded against the shields of the craft, the next disabled power across the ship. Sublight engines were knocked offline as well while three turbolasers pocked the hull.
Enemy Blood attacked at the same time, all weapons firing into L-01. 25 Ion bolts had slammed into the URRW vessel by the time the Blood finished its run, as well as scores of turbolasers.
On the surface, Curamalle was going up in flames as a devastating barrage from the Scorpion rained down. Nearly three-quarters of the city was leveled at the close of the assault._________________

Guru, stood aboard a Liberator Cruiser. This Cruiser was his only other option since his command ship, the Imperium Furor, was destroyed and the Scarlet Dawn ships were sent away. The captain of the ship, Guru’s new XO, was a tall Chiss. He in appearance seemed to have this dominating effect over the rest of the men. His voice boomed as he looked around the room shouting out orders.

“Alright people, let’s go, and get into your stations!”

The Commodore gave a glare around the bridge. He could see his men were exhausted, and new it fruitless for anymore of this to go on. He had received orders for an evacuation of all ships from above Corulag. Not because it was lost, but so something more could happen… Of course it was not shown to him what was more important then the defense of the home planet, but in the end orders… were orders.

“Officer Dale… get me fleet wide transmission, scramble it please and order a retreat… to Biolag. Tell them all to use hyperspace engines to simulate a frightful retreat, I want each to run after the other with me starting, no particular order.”

The URRW ships raced for the boundaries of the interdiction field cast by Indomitable, and once clear, jumped away in a seemingly panicked frenzy. A malevolent grin cross Zend's face.
"Admiral! The ground defenses are shutting down," reported her sensor officer. "We can start landing troops."
Zend shook her head. "No. All ships to Base Delta Zero positions."
The commander's face dropped. "Ma'am, we were told to capture--"
Zend cooly drew her sidearm and excavated a smoking hole in the man's chest.
The cruisers drew in around Corulag, and unleashed emerald death from the skies. For nearly a day, they pounded the planet until the surface was a sea of superheated magma. The atmosphere was clouded with vaporized rock, metals, glass, and people. Anything underground was sealed in or incinerated as the rogue admiral melted away the planet's crust, ensuring no life would ever spring forth on the planet. All 1.5 billion citizens perished in the barrage, suffocated, or were consumed in the seas of lava. The planet wouldn't even solidify for years to come.

Daara admired her handiwork. The planet now glowed a yellow-orange. She ordered the ship in closer when suddenly an explosion tore through the aft section.
"Engines are destroyed! It looks like sabotage!" her engineer called as the ship spiraled into the destroyed world's atmosphere.
Daara's eyes widened. Only Intelligence would sabotage her own ship.
"Jendob, you motherf--" her curse was cut off as the ship plowed headlong into the molten surface of Corulag.
